Cpl. Ernest Marshall
British Army Royal Field Artillery
from:Preston, Lancashire
My grandfather, Ernest Marshall, served as a Corporal, in the British Army, in WW1 from 1914 to 1918. To the best of my knowledge and information passed onto me from my father, part of his job was to look after the ammunition stored in the ammunition carts at the ready. As the soldiers, including my grandfather were in the firing line, he saw that a bomb was about to fall into the ammunition cart, so he very bravely and in the nick of time pushed the cart away, which not only saved himself, but other army soldiers too. I find this incredible that he did this, not only to save other soldiers, but his own life too! He got his normal three army medals for his army service,
I feel so proud of him, even after all this time! My grandfather lived to be 76 years of age and lived with us for a few years, when I was a young child. I am very grateful for his brave actions, as I now live to tell this true story and without his brave actions, neither my father, his brother and sister, nor me and my sister would not have been born into this sometimes harsh world. I do have a photo of my grandfather in his Corporal uniform, he looks so young, handsome and fit for an army battle.

My grandfather George Marshall went to Egypt with 42 Div on the 10th of September 1914. Battling the Turks on the Suez and then Gallipoli where he was wounded in Third Battle of Krithia on 4 June,1915. He was evacuated to Imtarfa hosital, Malta for 3 months and returned to Egypt to advance in Sinai to El Arise battling the retreating Turks under the command of German officers (as at Gallipoli). He landed at Marseilles in March 1917 and remained with Division until end of war at Hautmont and demobilised March 1920. His brother Thomas served with the 3/1 East Lancs Field ambulance

Pte. Harold Sidney Marshall
British Army 12th Battalion Norfolk Regiment
from:Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Private Harold Sidney Marshall was born 14th May 1899 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Enlisted at the outbreak of the Great War but being very underage his family informed the authorities. He later joined the Norfolk Regiment and served in the 2/6th Cyclist Battalion and later 12th Yeomanry Battalion. His first service number was 2284 and later in the war 265330.
Sadly, he lost his brother Charles John Marshall who served as Private 353931 London Regiment on 23rd May 1917 and his stepbrother Private 43277 Edmund Howard Nicholson 1st Battalion Norfolk Regiment killed in action 4th September 1916.
Whilst my grandfather Harold served with the 2/6th Cyclists on the Yorkshire coast he met my grandmother Phyllis Readhead of Flamborough. They married after the war when he returned from overseas service with the 12th Yeomanry battalion.
I have my grandfather's army form Z18 which lists his wartime army service details. I believe it was intended to help ex-soldiers find employment after demobilisation. It states he was a good Lewis gunner and Trench Mortar instructor plus ending up as acting Company Quartermaster Serjeant.

J. Marshall
British Army West Yorkshire Regiment
I am trying to return the First World War medal of Private J. Marshall, Service Number 11206 to his family. This missing war medal, a 1914-1918 Victory Medal awarded for service during the Great War is impressed with his name, service number and unit. Private J. Marshall served with the West Yorkshire Regiment and is believed to have served on Gallipoli during 1915. If that is correct, he may have been a member of the West Yorkshire 9th (Service) Battalion. Somehow, his Victory medal turned up for sale here in Australia. I am sure that they would like it returned in time for the Centenary of the Great War. I don't know his first name, but the medal is stamped J. Marshall. Can anyone please help?
